I. Arranging Web Archer on your screen
After you install Web Archer and launch it, a small floating search bar will appear on your screen.
1. You can drag the Web Archer search bar to a new location on your screen if you wish.
2. Click on the minimize control to move Web Archer into your "tray"
3. Click on Web Archer from the tray for instant access to Web Archer for searching. 

II. Searching with Web Archer
1. If it is not already open, click the Web Archer tray icon to open the Web Archer search bar.
2. Choose a "searchmark" from the pop-up menu (choose "Search")
3. Type in what you'd like to search for (try "learn how to knit")
4. Click on the "Go!" button (or hit return.)

Web Archer will launch your browser if it is not already running. 
Web Archer will take your browser directly to the first relevant search results.

5. To see the next set of search results, click the "Go!" button (which has changed to "...") again.  

Each click on the "Go!" (or "...") button takes you to the next set of relevant results.
That's the basic idea in a nutshell.  

Sometimes if you try to search for a two-word phrase that starts with capitals (Micron Electronics, for example), Web Archer may think its a person's name.  To run a 'regular' search, enclose the phrase in quotes, as in "Micron Electronics".

There are two other features for using Web Archer effectively: Search Intelligence and the Power Menu.
Read about them below!

III. Web Archer's Search Intelligence
Web Archer's speed and power comes from the fact that Web Archer can make decisions based on what you choose from the searchmark menu, and what you type.  It uses this information to help select the best database or search engine.

To illustrate this, follow these steps:
1. Choose News/Stocks from the Web Archer searchmark menu.
2. Search for Micro Electronics - you'll see headlines about Apple in the news today.
3. Search for MUEI - you'll get a stock quote for Micron, instead of just headlines.
4. Search for a city and state (Boston, MA) - you'll get the weather forecast. (Try your ZIP code!)

Power User Tip: To learn the full range of what each searchmark can do, just search for the word help!

IV. Web Archer's Power Menu
In addition to Web Archer's search intelligence, you can also use Web Archer's "Power Menu" to drill down deeper into Internet databases, or to perform more specific searches.

The Power Menu appears when you right-click on Web Archer's "Go!" button.
Try accessing it now. 

The choices in the Power Menu are context-sensitive, and vary depending on which Searchmark you've selected, and the text you have typed in.  

To see the flexible options in the Power Menu, follow these steps:
1. Choose News/Stocks from the Web Archer searchmark menu.
2. Type in  MUEI - do NOT hit return.
3. Click and hold down on the "Go!" button until the Power Menu appears.
4. Choose Corporate Snapshot from the Power Menu - you'll see a chart and fundamental stock data.

Explore the different options available from the Power Menu with each Searchmark; there's a lot in there.

To learn what each Searchmark's Power Menu can do, choose "Help with..." from the Power Menu.

V. Setting your preferred Web browser
Web Archer uses the standard registry system for determining your "preferred" Web browser.

Web Archer works with any of these browsers:
   - Netscape Navigator (Communicator) 2.x, 3.x, 4.x or later
   - Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or later (earlier version do not work properly!)
   - Other Spry-based browsers

VI. Purchasing Web Archer on-line
You can evaluate Web Archer free of charge for 30 days. 
If you like it, you can register for $29.95. 
To order online, choose "Register..." from the searchmark menu or visit
